Environmental Department in Kerala in the year 2009-2010 started a scheme for promotion of Environmental awareness among students of colleges and Universities by supporting and setting up an environmental club titled as Bhoomithra Sena. Now more than 200 institutions in this state was a part of this venture. Our college is an active member in this project with more than 150 members in this club.
